Facebook is a popular online social networking website. When someone logs into Facebook, that person's Facebook friends can see that he is online through the instant messenger built into Facebook. The Chat feature allows people to send instant messages with their friends that are signed into Facebook. If you do not want other people to know that you are online, you can change your status on Facebook Chat.
